Flatiron News: R.U.B. has closed
Here’s a bit of Flatiron Lunch news before we lay this week’s review on you…
Say it ain’t so!!! It looks like after bouncing back from a Hummer going through their front window, R.U.B (Righteous Urban Barbecue) has closed. This is a huge loss in the barbecue genre for Flatiron and Manhattan as a whole. It seems like now we have to get our bbq fix at BBQue’s Smoke Shack or go over budget at Hill Country or Blue Smoke. And if you are really desperate, Dallas BBQ, at 23rd and 8th Avenue.

SCOOPED!
But yeah, old news.

This closed at the end of last year. I am still pissed.
-
agreed, I always thought it was a good middle of the road choice between Blue Smkoke/Hill Country and the Dallas BBQ
-
BUMMER! I didn’t even notice this; haven’t tried eating at RUB for a while. Blue Smoke is good; nHill Country is crap and will never get my business again. Wildwood on Park around 18th is much better. I’d sooner go to Dallas BBQ than Hill Country (seriously).

Goats will be doubly pleased you responded to him now, with your HC non-love comment.
BTW, Blue Smoke is not good with the barbecue and smoked meats.

In other recent news, Obama won re-election

But feel free to get your pork pulled at their sister store, T.U.G.

lol!
BTW who says midtown lunch doesn’t have a sense of humor, running the RUB story the same day with the over white sauced combo at the museum of sex cart

Sounds like no REAL bbq options in that area now but it took ML THIS long to realize it. SNORE on the old news.

The only time I ever ate at R.U.B., I got food poisoning. Good riddance.
If you want good BBQ in Flatiron, go to Wildwood on Park Ave & 18th St.
I hear we also landed on the moon too.
